Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Wake up. It gets my day going.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
It makes me lab of it.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Mac and Schmitty in the morning on Star one oh
five point seven. I'm honest, ready, hey, good morning, Welcome
into your Wednesday. Gonna be a nice one too. If
you're liking a little bit of the cool down that
we've got going on, that mixed with a whole bunch
of sunshiness not so bad tempts into the upper sixties.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
I love it. Man, it's cold this morning, though I
wasn't afraid to turn my heat onto the car.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
No, I am still living the conflicted life of long
sleeves here on top and shorts on the bottom. I'm
having a hard time transitioning into long well too cold.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yesterday I was. I was thrilled to be in jeans
and a hoodie picking the kids up from school. Oh good.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
You know if I hit it when I hit outside
or you know, we like to keep our windows open
at night, and that includes in our master bedroom bathroom.
And I gotta tell you, when I get up in
the dark and I walk into the bathroom and it's
freezing cold on that tile floor, I'm like, oh, it's
definitely a pants day.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
But I just can't bring myself to the heath.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, movies, music and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
It's the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Like I said, it's kind of a buzzkill scoop to
start off the morning. A lot of deaths that were
confirmed yesterday. We'll start with John Amos leading Good Times
the show as patriarch. James Evans has passed away. His
son Kelly announcing the news. But here's what caught everyone
off guard. John passed back in August August twenty first

(01:31):
in la His son says it was due to natural causes.
He writes, it's with heartfelt sadness I share with you
that my father has transitioned. He was a man with
the kindest heart and a heart of gold, loved the
world over. In addition to his work in Good Times,
he was also Gordie the weatherman on The Mary Tyler
Moore Show. He received an Emmy nomination portraying older Kunta

(01:53):
Kinte on Roots. He was also in both Coming to
America films as well as The West Wing eighty four
years old, but passed back in August.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
He this is pretty wild to have not found out
about that till now.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Another really shocking death if you were an American Pickers fan.
That's the show on History Channel. Longtime Picker Frank Fits
passed away. His longtime co star and very close friend
host of the show, Mike Wolf, confirming the news yesterday.
Very tragic for fans, apparently, he said, it's with a

(02:26):
broken heart I share with you. Frank passed away last night.
I've known him for more than half my life. What
you've seen on TV has always been what I've seen.
A dreamer who was just as sensitive as he was funny,
the same off camera as he was on. Frank really
had a way of reaching the hearts of so many
just by being himself. Frank's rep confirming the news, saying

(02:49):
he died from the effects of a stroke he had
several years ago. He also battled Crone's disease for decades,
which may have played a role. He was in a
Quad city's hospice fe surrounded by friends, including Mike Wolf
when he passed. He was only sixty.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
I mean, that's way too young.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
And America Pickers, of course pretty dedicated fan base, especially
around small towns here in Michigan. That those guys went
through and communicated and met people here like and no,
we'll be dearly missed.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Finally, we have the official cause of death for Major
League Baseball legend Pete Rose. Officials announced yesterday in Clark County.
He passed from heart disease, officially hypertensive and atheroscleratic cardiovascular disease.
Of course, had that news yesterday, passing away and his

(03:37):
rep saying that indeed he was found by a family
member in his Vegas home on Monday afternoon, eighty three
years old. For Pine, So sorry, we'll get those out
of the way, but just kind of a sad start
to the day. There are some beautiful celeb tributes pouring in, however,
West Michigan Star dot com for all of these kids.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
Sometimes does that get a good feeling?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Well, put some positive positivity out into the world and
hope to see it come back to you. Starlano fine
point seven. That's Mack and Schmidty with you, and you
know we talk about it when bad things happen. I
always go back to that Fred Rogers quote. When I
was a boy, I would see scary things in the news.
My mother would say to me, look for the helpers.
You will always find people who are helping Youyu SCHMIDI

(04:21):
are always great about bringing that up in tough times,
and I want to point out a couple of helpers
from right here in Grand Rapids that are down there
doing anything that they can in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Grand Rapids Fire Department Captains Curtis Walsh and Josh Veldcamp
have joined others as part of Michigan Task Force one
helping people down south, telling thirteen on your Side that

(04:44):
they left on September twenty sixth with a group of
nineteen others and took the trip down to North Carolina.
They're actually set up in the Chimney Rock area, one
of the most deeply destroyed and affected areas that the
hurricane has affected. This task force is actually approved by
FEMA to go down there, stacked with engineers, positions, crane operators,

(05:06):
and firefighters like themselves. And they said they've just been
down there doing anything that they can to help, describing
the scene to thirteen on your Side.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
We'll still trapped in their homes and we have it
on door to door and gained access to those structures,
searching each structure house by house, checking for people that
may still be here seeking shelter or if they've evacuated.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, they have been literally cutting paths through area where
there are no more roads or where trees and debris
have basically completely made areas unreachable. Cutting through all of
that with several other fire departments that have also come
from other parts of the country. It's an experience. Captain
Veldcamp till thirteen on your side, he will definitely never forget.

(05:51):
And it's completely different when you're there.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
It's a totally different perspective you have once you've come
down here and see the actual devastation versus just that
you can see online or videos that are taken like
it is.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
It's a town that was.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Driving before and it's now completely gone.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, so obviously just heartbroken for the devastation down there,
but so thankful for people like Captain Walsh and Captain
Veldcamp for you know, sacrificing their time, their efforts to
go down there and help others.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
It's a deeply destroyed it's gone. Chimney Rock is absolutely gone.
Redcross dot org. If you start to see videos on
TikTok things like that, these are places that literally no
longer exist and these people have nowhere to go, so
they could really really use your funds. Right now, let's
turn to Detroit because Lions fans have been so excited.

(06:40):
It's a root on this year's unbelievable team. And after
we saw that big Monday night win over Seattle, we
saw some very interesting characters showing their fan hood. And
if you've ever been to a game at board Field,
you've probably noticed lion S two two as they call her,
Tracy Sekula of Sterling Heights has been on fire for

(07:02):
this team and in the spotlight finally speaking out about
exactly why she has such an interesting look about her
with the big blue eyeshadow, the giant blue mouse ears,
and of course the iconic blue two two and she
thanks her dad.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
This is my favorite sport and it's my team prison
hard From when I was three years old, my first
game with my dad, I had a tantrum Disney other
night before. I refused to take my ears off, refuse
take my ballet to two off, take her and it
became an every Sunday thing for me.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
So they got back from Disney and she refused to
take her ears off, refuse to take her to two off.
She was a strong willed three year old and her
mom said just take her because her dad was going
to be late to the game. And that's how the
tradition started. Now, her dad passed away ten years ago
and she tells, you see seven, the last thing you
said to me, I want you to continue to be
a die hard fan. Someday you're going to be a

(07:55):
super fan. And she has done just that. She's got
a giant mystery that is Lions themed that stays up
all year long. She's got an Elf on the shelf.
Lions Appareled watches her all year to make sure she
is a good, strong Lions fan. She's got her rories
stuffed animal dolls. But her most favorite part she comes
from a veteran's family and it's very important to her.

(08:16):
A salute to service for the Lions and the NFL
where they recognize people in service. She's been saving up
since she was three to head to the super Bowl,
and she said, even though it won't be in Detroit,
it will still be wonderful. But it's Ford Field. She
feels Dad the most.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
I really do. I feel his presence there.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
You got to see the pictures. West Michigan Star dot Com.
Its fans like Teresa that really really make it worth it.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
I mean the Disney trip to having the ears on
and then going to your game. That origin story is
better than I thought it could.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
A bit jo that was amazing.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
That's so cool.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
I feel like good comes at you a couple times
a day. Want to share great things going on out there,
people doing amazing things for us, just stuff to light
up your day a little bit. We'll do it again
today at nine to twenty here on starwar flop point stuff.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Move music and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
It's the Celebrities group on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Well, the Diddy legal drama continues and the rapper is
about to be hit with lawsuits for sexual assaults and abuse,
and according to a Houston based law firm, more than
one hundred and twenty accusers are coming forward ready to
tell their stories, a lot of them for the very
first time. Tony Busby is the attorney, saying a wave

(09:30):
of lawsuits will be filed against Ditty in the next
thirty days, including from an accuser who claims he was
only nine when Ditty and others abused him at the
Bad Boy Record studio in New York. Busby claims they
are also filing suit on behalf of other accusers who
claimed they were miners when Didy abused them. He says

(09:52):
the majority of these took place in either LA or
New York City. Now. Back on Friday, Busby's firm announced
that they were being more than fifty alleged victims, especially
quite a few going down at these freak off parties
we've been talking about. But as of yesterday afternoon, they've
confirmed one hundred and twenty. Now, one of Ditty's attorneys,

(10:14):
Erica Wolfe, has issued a statement saying mister Combs's legal
team has emphasized that he cannot address every meritless allegation
in what has become a reckless media circus. That said,
mister Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory
any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors, and
looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
I mean, that number is just unbelievable, one hundred and
twenty lawsuits. What I read was that there were over
three thousand reported allegations of abuse that they sifted through
and fedted through and came with these one hundred and
twenty lawsuits after that. I mean, the numbers are insane.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
And I don't think it's going to be done. Next
hour in your scoop, I'll have some possible rumor of
names we might be hearing coming out with this as well.
Selena Gomez continues to cozy up to who she's calling
just a best friend. Have you seen some of the
videos with Edgar Ramirez? So they were at the New

(11:17):
York City premiere of Selena's new movie, Amelia Perez last
night and have kept the buzz going. Fans were first
a little shocked over the weekend when they saw Selena
dancing in a way I wouldn't have been able to
at a grade school dance on Edgar while she was
at the Sabrina Carpenter Show, with a lot of comments

(11:37):
online saying, wait a minute, what about Bennie Blanco. Selena
has maintained these two are just exceptionally close, but she
still only has romantic eyes for Benny. But when you
see some of the red carpet, look at one point
she's got her arm wrapped around Edgar. He leans in
and grabs her waist, whispers something in her ear and
then gives her a peck on the cheek. It's very

(11:59):
interest seeing uh, very torn on the internet with some
people going ooh boy, my boyfriend would not be very
okay with that kind of behavior. But I guess it's
different for some people.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
I don't know, because if you're Betty Blanco, I would
have already been a little insecure knowing I was dating
one of the most beautiful women on the planet to
begin with, and then that guy who looks like he's
straight out of a like a Ken Doll photos.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
It's like a Latino lover, for sure. I just think
it's that Benny's never around. I don't know. I'm not
I love you, Selena. I'm just saying, look close, look close. Finally,
The Apprentice, one of the most controversial but sought after
films of the year, depicting the life of a young
Donald Trump, too spicy for some network television so Briar

(12:45):
Cliff Entertainment is the film's distributor and had a fifteen
second commercial ready to promote the film, but was rejected
by both ABC and CBS. CBS, which of course hosted
last night's debate between Tim Waltz and jd Vance told
the company that dont work did not feel comfortable promoting
The Apprentice in the debate or during any kind of
national news, but was open to advertising the movie during

(13:08):
other parts of the day. However, ABC, which hosted the
presidential debate a few weeks ago, mixed the commercial all together,
saying the network wanted to stay far away from any
ad that spoke to related themes within a broadcast. You'll remember,
Trump's team fought hard to block the release of this film.
They fired off a season assist letter to filmmakers, but

(13:30):
the entertainment company did secure the rights. That film is
going to hit theaters October eleventh.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Yeah, you know already. You hear allegations of bias all
the time if you're airing derogatory you know, movie previews
during the debate. I think that kind of tips your
hand a little bit.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yeah, this stars Sebastian Stan who you will recognize from
the big Marvel movies. All of your celebsco but West
Michigan Star dot.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Com become Morning to you. Welcome into your Wednesday. It's
Mack and SCHMIDI and do a little unintentional hide and seek.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Noah was fully intentional. So if you missed it. Over
the weekend, I was in Chicago at a big wedding
reception for my cousins. They ended up getting my cousin
and how.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Husband they ended up getting.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
They eloped to Vegas and ended up getting married out there,
and then decided they were going to have a big
party back home in Chicago for everybody. So we were
out there, and since they got eloped in Vegas, it
was all Vegas themed, which was really cute. It had
a big tent in the backyard, and they had like
little slot machines and dice and games, and since it

(14:34):
was all miniature, was perfect for my kids. So, I mean,
they were playing roulette most of the evening. I'm like, oh,
we'll see how this goes later in life. And at
one point we're sitting We're talking to family. I have
not seen Sophia in quite a while, which is a
little unnerving because they're not used to this area. I
know that she's a little ninja and we'll try to
escape and explore. So we're all searching for her, cannot

(14:56):
find her anywhere. We're calling her name, she's not responding.
I'm starting to freak out when I realize there's a
little piece of a foot sticking out from under the
booze table and I lift the tablecloth up and there
she is. She has hoarded all of the slot machines,
all of the dice, all of the balloons, the decorations guarantee,

(15:18):
she has grabbed a flower centerpiece, and she's just hiding
with all of these things. I'm certain she thought she
was going to be able to sneak back to the hotel.
You found her hoard and was just missing for like
twenty minutes. And you know, after the freak out and
after the we don't just hide places and not respond
when mom and dad are calling your name, you start

(15:40):
to laugh, because there is nothing funnier than when you
realize where your toddler has hid. And I posted this online,
and I knew that parents were going to have the
most hysterical places they have found their kids missing, because again,
it's horrifying in those four or five six minutes that
you cannot find your kid until you realize, For instance, Shelley,

(16:01):
my son was sound asleep in his toy box like
places I would never look, and instead I'm thinking, oh
my gosh, someone snuck in the house. Someone kidnapped them. Nope,
sound asleep in a toy house in a toy box. Jerry,
my grandson, climbed out of the front window of our
house when he was two. We searched everywhere, finally found
him crouched down by the front steps, covering his eyes.

(16:23):
He figured if he couldn't see us, we couldn't see him,
and he'd win the game.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Sound logic. You know, it's a shame that doesn't work.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
It really is.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Oh my gosh, Rebecca. They were my neighbor's kids, snuck
out of the house one summer night after bedtime, climbed
into the back seat of the family car to hang out.
They were searching for hours.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
I mean, that's the part where it gets real freaky
right there. I've had my parents call the cops on
myself and some friends because we were in the woods
playing ninjas with like swords in our shirts and everything
else for hours on end, where they had no clue
where we were until we got back and see sirens
and lights in the driveway and realize we're just dead. Oh.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
I wouldn't have gone home. I would have turned right
back around and been like, take me to jail, because
whatever I'm facing there is nothing compared to the wrath
of my parents. I think every person who's ever had
a kid knows exactly what Sarah's talking about. My kid
hiding under a rack of clothing in a department store,
tearing all the price tags off clothes and making a

(17:25):
hill out of them. I've told my kids more than once.
I'm like, if you put yourself in a clothes rack,
I will leave. I do not have the time to
search through. I realize it's super cool and it's like
your little fort, but hiding finding hiding kids in a
clothes rack is impossible.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
You're on clearance now, and if somebody wants you, dang it,
they're gonna be able to take you.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
I'm not putting up.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
With this stuff, Okay, So move past the scary part
of it, right? What is the Where is the funniest
place your kids have hidden? Where have you found them?

Speaker 5 (17:54):
Six?

Speaker 3 (17:55):
One six, four five, eight one oh five seven? Again
check the comments. It's gonna make you feel like a
fabulous parents.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
It's true.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Point seven Maggage Smitty with you and I'm sorry, but
did you just mention the cops for this week's.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
I believe I proudly did h and I posted about
this on my Instagram at Schmidt in the mitt yesterday
and the amount of people that DMed me and said, girl,
I've done the same. So we were in Chicago over
the weekend and we stopped in the city for lunch
so the kids could walk around get some wiggles out.
We found this fabulous restaurant to eat at by the way,
got to shot them out Flowing Santos right on South

(18:33):
Wabish Oh the Perrogi Sampler. But since we've been in
the car for a couple hours, the kids were like
a little stir crazy. I get it. And Sophia, my
three year old, kept standing up in the booth and
like looking around and wanting to see people. And we're
trying to teach the kids restaurant etiquette. So I'm like, babe,
you gotta sit down. We're you know, we've got your crans,
we got things to color. We got to calm it down.
We're in a setting where other people are also enjoying

(18:55):
their meal and she's just just having a hard time.
So all of a sudden, I see three of Chicago's
find us walking to have some lunch and they sit
at the table right next to us. And don't you
think I even hesitated to go, Sophia. Those three guys
are police officers, and if you don't sit on your dupa,
they're gonna take you to jail. And Chris like just

(19:16):
gives me this look, and without missing a beat, my
six year old son will goes Sophia. They have guns.
She's super real. And you know what, I have the greatest, calmest,
most well behaved lunch of my life. And you better believe.
As we were walking out, I looked at those three

(19:36):
gentlemen and I said, I just want to I just
want to thank you for your service and you're helping
parents when you didn't even realize that.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
It's really more about the deterrence more than anything else.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I will Bill haul your booty out of here.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
It's the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Well, there's going to be some big names coming out
in connection to the allegations against rapper Ditty now the
big news yesterday. Tony Busby is a Houston area attorney
that held a press conference announcing new cases against Ditty
and he will actually be representing one hundred and twenty victims.

(20:26):
The big news. Also, he says that they will be
naming names, and there are a lot of them. Buzby says,
it's a long list already, but because of the nature
of this case, we are going to make sure damn
sure that we are right before we do that. He
stated plans to file lawsuits in several states over the
next thirty days and pledged to reveal those names at

(20:47):
a later date. He confirmed half the plaintiffs are male.
Most of the alleged assaults took place in New York, California, Georgia,
and Florida, with complaints dating back to nineteen ninety one
and the youngest leged victim just nine years old. Many
of the claims relate to Combs' as infamous annual white
parties as well as hotel parties, and once again has

(21:11):
emphasized when you see this list of names, it will
stun you.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Good. Let's drop it, get it out. You know, it's
gonna be really wild to see all of these names
kind of come out, because I would imagine that they're
going to have to be co plaintiffs to some extent
or co defendants. I should say in these civil lawsuits, that's.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Going to happen. Everyone wanted the Epstein names to drop,
and then whatever went down in jail, like leed that
from happening.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
I was going to say, I don't know whether this
is so much of a list or as specific allegations,
because that's where I think it comes down. I mean,
everybody who went to a didty party is not necessarily
a criminal, but everybody who is accused of something probably
has some questions down.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
He says, it's a list of names that he will
be dropping soon. Travis Kelsey has given us a first
look at his hosting skills. A new trailer dropped yesterday
of the show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? This
is a fresh twist on the big hit Jeff Foxworthy
led show that was on a few years ago, and

(22:14):
Travis seems to be having an absolute blast.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
What was there, Major trev Well Justice, If I'm going
to go to school, I might as well learn how
to not go to jail.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Cute, It's very cute. What's really fun about this the
few celebrities they have already teased that'll be a part
of this former NFL start Chad Ocho, Singo Johnson, Fryan Fitzpatrick,
as well comedians Nicki Glazer and Natasha Gero and some
other big name stars. This will drop on Amazon Prime
October sixteenth.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Man, I don't know about a lot of those celebrities,
but I know Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard, so that's
gonna be a difficult episode, I'd imagine.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Excited about Nicki Glazer. Finally, Allion's head coach Dan Campbell
has righted his wrong if you missed the story. After
an unbelievable game night that win over Seattle, where quarterback
Jared Goff finished eighteen of eighteen passing for two hundred
and ninety two yards, an absolutely perfect game, he did

(23:10):
not get the game ball. Unfortunately, Campbell didn't realize he'd
had a perfect game and had already given out the
balls to receiver Jamison Williams and safety Kirby Joseph. While
coach Campbell had a press conference yesterday saying we found one.
We did, so normally I give out an immediate game
ball afterwards, and normally we always have another one or
two that show up, So like the day after the game, yeah,

(23:34):
I got one, So it was an easy one to
give to Jared.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
I'd just like to think that there's a ball boy
who's like the gatekeeper of these things. Sorry, Dan, you
got your two game balls and that's all? Like what coach?

Speaker 3 (23:45):
We're talking about this on my other show A how
does someone on your staff not have the statistics and
like run back to you and say hey? But also
does it still feel good if he's like, we found
some ball in the bleachers, Jared, good game, game that
all of your celebscoop at West Michigan Star dot.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Com Land Raphids Griffins kick it off on next Friday
night against with the Milwaukee Admiral Schmidt.

Speaker 3 (24:11):

family to be there. Just give us the number one answer.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Oh you mean Schmidty's not that god given name your
parents may have given you.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
No.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
And I always get super nervous because when I'm filling
out really important documents and it says list any aliases,
I always put and like Chris said, I don't think
you have to do that. You don't use it like legally.
And I said, dude, I watched enough crime docs like
if they catch me on some kind of legality, I
was like.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Are you filling out witness statements? What are you?

Speaker 3 (24:49):

Speaker 4 (25:21):
Okay, third grader?

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Man? Getting big quick there, Dad, that's it's going fast.
Oh you're gonna do Winny Turn nine October coming up
quick here? All right, buddy, Well, let's get you a
little early birthday present. Get your tickets for this Griffins game.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
All right.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Guys, got to tell me. When one hundred men were
asked to name a profession that might use an alias,
what do you think the top answer was?

Speaker 4 (25:48):
There? And Brody of course an alias is like a
fake name. We're gonna say a musician, you're gonna say
a musician.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I believe Sting's name is Gordon, but I don't think
he really. You know, it doesn't have the same effect
when thousands and thousands of fans are yelling out your name.
I don't think you'd want to be like Gordo. Gordo
just doesn't have the same ring to it musicians. Top answer, guys,
you go to the Griffin alright, Brody, you saved the

(26:21):
screams for when the Griffins are on the ice. Man,
you're gonna have a blast and be there at opening night.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
All right.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
I guess it was band slash singers, followed by spies,
then undercover cops and criminals rounding out those top answers.
Well done, fellas, You're very welcome. Happy early birthday there, buddy,
and we'll do it again tomorrow. More chances doing Griffin's
tickets eight point fifteen Here on Starbinar five points Starminal

(26:54):
five point seven. Good morning to you. It's Mack and
Schmidty and here we go. Schmidty Tigers with a chance
to close on a playoff series, their first playoff series
in a decade, and meanwhile, my kid can't stop talking
about the Dodgers. I don't understand this at all. Okay,
my son loves baseball, but he is not a kid
to sit down and watch games. I think he's watched
like four Tigers games, maybe this entire season. We've been

(27:17):
to one game at Comerica Park. But you know, a
Tiger's fan, but he likes show. Hey Otani. Yeah, the
guy you know, he constantly said he's Babe Ruth, Daddy's
babe Ruth, all this stuff ball. We haven't talked about
him in a while. But he comes home yesterday and
the Tigers are in the thick of it all right,
getting off the bus. The game's in like the sixth inning,
and I feel like at that point Tigers are up

(27:38):
three to nothing.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
We're all I'm on the edge of my seat watching
this game.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
And he comes in and I'm like, Tigers row, buddy,
I'm so excited, and he's like, when did the Dodgers play?

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (27:49):
What when did the Dodgers play?

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Dude just went for half a million.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Bucks, goes, He goes, Dad, I just want to watch show,
Hey Otani, when did the Dodgers play? And I'm like,
I don't know, they're not even They're not they gotta
buy Hey, buddy, they're not even playing it. And he goes,
will you record their game? And I go, will I
record their game? Buddy? Your Detroit Tigers are here right
now in the playoffs. Sit down and watch the game
with me. He's like, nah, I'm gonna grab a snack.

(28:13):
Because he just immediately tries to go and downstairs to
watch TV after school. I'm like, it's the playoffs, screaming
my son doesn't understand. He goes, well, are you gonna
tape the Dodgers game? I go, if you can tell
me one other player on the Dodgers, I will record.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
The Dodge doesn't matter. Watch it for the action, Watch
it for the action.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Do your kids just pick up fan hoods from just
little things that they've seen Smiddy?

Speaker 3 (28:38):
I mean, I'm absolutely devastated their Lions fans all because
Chris is like, they're really good, you guys. And my
son goes, I love the color blue, and I'm like, okay, well,
navy an orange is pretty mine too. It's just the
Bears have had a bit of a rough go of it.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
Some down.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Shut and shouting out there are gonna be a beautiful day.
Let's brighten it up even more. Feeling good right now
and starting a fine points Yevin, what's going on?

Speaker 4 (29:07):
Shrede.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Well, it's a really really moving tribute. You remember just
a few weeks ago the awful story of the passing
of Columbus Blue Jackets hockey player Johnny Gudreau alongside his brother,
hit by an alleged drunk driver while they were out
riding bikes. Well, his toddler daughter had a big birthday
the other day, and the entire Blue Jackets team showed

(29:32):
up for the family. A picture of the players and
their families in front of a giant Happy second Birthday
Noah was posted by the late forwards wife Meredith, writing
on Instagram. We love you all. Thank you from the
bottom of my heart. A really special group that will
forever be family to me and forever be family to

(29:55):
our babies.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
This season, the Blue Jackets have been honoring both Gudreaux
brothers with special helmet patches that feature their playing numbers
with doves in the middle. The team also wears number
thirteen patches on their jerseys. All thirty two NHL teams
will be wearing special helmet decals in memory of the
brothers and all the games through October twenty fourth. It's

(30:17):
a really moving picture.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
It is.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
And you know that little girl might not appreciate or
remember any of those things right now, but later on
she'll be seeing those photos.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
She'll be seeing those pictures. She'll be reading about her dad.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
What about thirty two dads now, doesn't she?

Speaker 4 (30:31):
Yeah, that's really cool, all right, SCHMITTI.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
This weekend, of course, the fall colors in full dazzling
display up in the up and they'll be enjoying them
this weekend for Platter Day, the worldwide celebration of plaid
that was founded back in twenty eleven in Marquettes celebrated
the first Friday of October. Coming up this week and
the second annual Key one off Platter Day is going

(30:57):
down there at Houghton High School, all the way up
there in the Key it doant. What I love about
this is that they're setting Guinness World records for the
most number of people wearing plaid. Last year they set
the record with seventeen hundred and forty five people. However,
it has not been officially verified by Guinness World Records yet. However,
they do have all the evidence in there and submitted,

(31:17):
but they're already looking to break it again. That's what
they want to do on Friday is get the largest
collection of people wearing plaid in one place.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
I love that they do this festival every year, Smitty.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Is that because Guinness even said, no, we're not going
to drive that far.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
I'm sorry. The ups off limits for all world records.
Now it'll be really neat. I'll put the details up
for you West Michigan Star dot com. But yeah, seventeen
to eighteen hundred people rocking all plaid together. I feel
like it's something you got to see at some point.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Well, I've seen it every time I go up there.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Fair all right, feeling good comes out you a couple
times a day. Let's do it tomorrow six forty five
and nine to twenty here on Starminar five point seven.
Mack and Schmidty in the morning weekdays starting at six
am on Star five point seven
